The winery is the oldest bodega in the town of Chipiona, located five miles from Sanlúcar de Barrameda. \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe history of Chipiona begins far earlier, with the Phoenicians.  Around 1100 BCE, the Phoenicians established an outpost on the southwest coast (which is now Cadíz). They discovered a temperate climate ideally suited for agricultural including grape and olive production.  Distilled spirits methods were married with wine production to create a stable product for transport, and following suit, the use of barrels as shipping containers was implemented.  Thus emerged the many styles of sherry as we know them today.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFlorido's Cruz del Mar Oloroso is produced exclusively with palomino grapes grown by César’s family in the Balbaína and Miraflores pagos (vineyards). After harvesting, the grapes are crushed and fermented in traditional cement vats.  The thick walls of the vats naturally regulate the temperature of the wine, negating any need for mechanical temperature controls.  \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFuller-bodied musts are chosen for Oloroso, while finer, more delicate pressings are made into Fino.  After being fortified to about 18%,  the wine is aged oxidatively in old oak barrels.  Th Cruz del Mar spends an average of 12 years in the solera process before being bottled \u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003een rama, \u003c\/em\u003eor \"raw\", without fining or filtration.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\" data-en-clipboard=\"true\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Bodegas César Florido","offers":[{"title":"375mL","offer_id":41438453366947,"sku":"83093","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0499\/5527\/4915\/products\/image_cda29d93-b4b1-4dcd-ad60-7853a4a7bed9.jpg?v=1631223271","url":"https:\/\/shop.artemisia.farm\/products\/bodegas-cesar-florido-oloroso","provider":"Artemisia Farm \u0026 Vineyard","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
